Started the new week with big changes to our grow. I decided to go out and buy a small humidifier to raise the level of the humidity in the tent. It was hovering around 40% and now we are hovering around 75%. I think the plants were drying out and the soil while wet, wasn't staying moist enough.
Also decided to go in on the nutrients to help these ladies out. Went for FF Trio. and some cal-mag plus on top of my voodoo juice. Going to start them off very light on the nuts. With with about half the recommended dose and will go from there. Fed this to them sunday night 8/16 and gotta say today, the plants look like they are perking up a bit. So I think something, most likely the increased humidity, was a big answer to some problems.
After only a few days on the new nutes added... the ASD is seeing visible strong growth. New leaves are sprouting up and the ones that were there are getting much bigger and healthier looking. Very excited.
The ANL still hasn't bushed out as much as I was hoping although the leaves do look healthier. I can't tell if its new growth or possibly heading into the bloom stage but The top of it is starting to have more growth. The leaves look greener since the humidity has been pumped up. Still monitoring.
Started to trim off some dead leaves on both of the plants. Also started some LST on the ASD. We'll see how that goes.
Watering both about a cup/cup.5 every 2-3 days depending on how the soil feels.

Can someone please look at my Auto NL, and tell me if the leaves are looking discolored or if something else is going on? It's probably nothing but I feel like a concerned parent lol. We had given it maybe 1 tsp of voodoo juice in the soils pre-soak session before germination.

Looks like something gave her a minor displeasure. Dont be to alarmed as she looks rather fine. Bet by her next node and set of new leaves. Her foliage will be green vibrant and a sorted out. Make sure to keep her on in range and do not over water her and she will be booming in no time. Happy growing and stay lit fam

How early is too early to start LST? I know the stems are usually pretty good but I am little worried the stalks are still a little flimsy to be bending?

Check out my diaries, got LST going at about the same age as yours...It depends, if you are planning to top and scrog then don't LST yet until you have 4 - 10 nodes (8-20 branches) and begin.
If you want to LST now then preferably do so. I am LST-ing my plants now in order to get them facing upward for all the nodes to LST again and grow as many nodes as possible and then top whilst in veg. (Warning: you need to twist the stem to keep the nodes growing equally and to expose them to the light without having to defoliate the leaves).
I also would suggest bending your stem when its thicker before it becomes wood. OR if you are topping, then top first and then LST would be best for equal height when Scrogging.
Good luck!

On my auto SD, it seems like my initial stalk and leaves are starting to turn spotted or brownish in some places. is that from heat of the lamp, nut deficiency or nut overload? It grew a branch out and those leaves look great and are really coming out fast, but...

Bottom leaves tend to always bring up problems, maybe suggestively get a Nutrient tracker and make sure you giving the plants the nutrients it needs, too little is often much better as too much. Especially in its early stages of veg as the plants has its own nutrients.
Many people get it wrong when they think they should give nutrients in the beginning. It's in my opinion not needed at all other than water and maybe a Nitrogen solution would be best.
Once your plant is in its 2nd month then Nutrients are very important as long as they are regulated as again the plant doesn't need alot of nutrients, may only need Nitrogen and Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom Salt).
But from there this should provide you with a better crop whilst in Veg.
Good luck

I saw you using voodoo juice, but I didn't see anything about any other nutrients. If all you are giving them is voodoo juice, they may be hungry.

Looking good! My NL Auto has been a darker green than expected, partially due to hot soil but also partly how the genetics are. Next time you take pics, do so without the grow light on so we can see what the natural color is of the leaves. Besides that, most NL Auto reviews talk about how they need a lot less nutrients, and in the seedling stage it's easy to drown with water (a solo cup's worth should do the trick). Keep up the good grow!
